| Abstract |
Men who have sex with men (MSM) carry the burden of HIV infection in China. Outside of China, a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been associated with HIV-related risks (behavioral, sexual, and mental health outcomes) among MSM. We therefore evaluated the relationship between CSA and these HIV-related risks among MSM in China. Cross-sectional data were collected via a survey from gay websites and social networking applications from MSM in 30 provinces in mainland China during a 3-month period in 2014 and 2015. Overall, 999 screened MSM who responded to questions on CSA were included. Multinomial logistic regression models-adjusted for sociodemographic confounders-showed that men who reported experiencing regular CSA and contact CSA, respectively, were more likely to use substances (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.39-2.62 and AOR, 1.70; 95% CI 1.25-2.31), had a history of sexually transmitted infections (AOR, 1.81; 95% CI 1.29-2.55 and AOR, 1.65; 95% CI 1.18-2.96), had more male sexual partners (AOR, 1.06; 95% CI 1.04-1.09 and AOR, 1.05; 95% CI 1.03-1.08), engaged in more condomless sex with men (AOR, 1.89; 95% CI 1.39-2.56 and AOR, 1.72; 95% CI 1.29-2.30), and experienced more psychological distress (AOR, 1.05; 95% CI 1.02-1.08 and AOR, 1.05; 95% CI 1.03-1.08). Both frequent and contact forms of CSA were positively associated with HIV-related risks among MSM, suggesting that general CSA prevention strategies and interventions are needed to support this population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 January 2018.
All research outputs
#13,883,019
of 23,009,818 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Sexual Behavior
#2,730
of 3,481 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#170,688
of 326,002 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Sexual Behavior
#44
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,009,818 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,481 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 28.2. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 326,002 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
